Stephen Colbert, the astute host of “The Late Show,” delivered a comedic masterstroke on Tuesday, employing a hilariously unhinged football coach persona to dissect the Trump camp’s alleged “unified team” dynamic, a claim recently asserted by press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Adding to the confusion, Trump and Musk’s public pronouncements on the matter had been characterized by a perplexing lack of coherence.
